Your definition as such is fine. But let's look closer. "A form of far-right authoritarian ultranationalism characterized by dictatorial power" - Mr. Trump probably wanted dictatorial power, but in fact only had the powers of the Presidency as laid out in the U.S. Constitution. So that part does not apply

"Forcible suppression of opposition" again, he probably would have liked to be able to do that but the Constitution once again stands in the way.

"Strong regimentation of society and the economy" - that didn't happen either.

It's fine to not like him or disagree with his policies or behavior, but mischaracterization is not fine.

Funny thing, though...
The Far-Left are in control and they have actually been very fascistic in the first month of their regime.

Trump never was. A total misrepresentation of the man.
When he ran, I thought for sure he would be like a dictator. I even mocked my friends who voted for him in the primary by imitating the sound of marching jack-boots...trump,trump,trump,trump.

Much to my surprise, he wasn't the least bit fascistic. If you actually believe he was, you're an idiot and don't really know what a fascistic government acts like. Here's a clue: just watch Jenn Psaki's press conferences and Biden regurgitate whatever the squad tells him to.

So the nationalist characteristic of his regime, the demonization and scapegoating of immigrants and foreign nationals, economic policy in favor of multinational corporations, literal white nationalist policy advisers didn't make the cut as fascist for ya? Ok bud.

If, if all that were true, why isn't he our leader today?
And don't say " because the American people voted him out". If he were all you say he was, then Trump would have used all that fascistic tendency and squashed the election or he would have cheated.
Funny, it is the Democrats who actually used their fascistic tendencies and cheated to gain control of the Presidency.
You can't have it both ways, Skeezix.
